India aims to elevate its status on the international sports stage by submitting bids to host the 2028 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar and the 2026 Asian Relays. This move aligns with the country's ambition to host more continental and global events in the near future.

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has zeroed in on Bhubaneswar's Kalinga Stadium, a cutting-edge facility, as the venue for the 2028 event. With its 200m running track, spectator gallery, and training amenities, it stands ready to welcome athletes and audiences.

While the host for the 2026 Asian Relays is yet to be finalized, the AFI is considering a northern Indian city for the event slated for April. This decision is part of India's broader strategy to become a frequent host in the world of athletics competitions.
